Tim de Noble has led the University of Arkansas architecture department since 2005. Born and raised in Little Rock, de Noble earned a Bachelor of Science in architecture from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1986 and a Master of Architecture from Syracuse University in 1992. He subsequently taught at Syracuse University and designed projects in Ecuador, upstate New York and Arkansas. He taught for two years in Florence, Italy before returning to Arkansas to join the faculty at the University of Arkansas and open his firm, denoblearchitecture, P.A.

De Noble’s design practice largely centers on residential projects that fuse modernist space with vernacular building precedents. He is also known for sensitive renovations of historic homes such as Chris and Lynn Parker’s residence, which was published in At Home in Arkansas.

De Noble’s primary research interest is the typology and morphology of small towns. Recent efforts have included the digital reconstruction of a once thriving retreat now resting below the waters of a reservoir as well as in-depth comparisons of resort and working towns in the Ozarks. He has delivered papers on diverse topics at international, national and regional conferences. In 2001 he organized an exhibition of models completed by University of Arkansas architecture students at the national headquarters of the American Institute of Architects in Washington, D.C.
